They think it will fill a void in their life. It usually doesn't. Kind of a reflection of our society - If I get this new TV, car, clothing, phone, etc.....THEN I will be happy. And everyone just keeps chasing. |

Oh, confound it, man! Are you afraid of success? I'm offering you a three-year contract at twenty thousand dollars a year, starting today. Is it a deal, or isn't it? |

I know it's not the purpose of the thread but to question the usefulness of success is a quintessential Chicago sports discussion. |

For guys, they think it means unlimited young pussy. For women, success means they tricked a successful man into marriage. |

They worry about different things and have different problems and they can cover for them better but it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Success means different things to different people. Ike thinks I’m successful, I’ve been struggling for at least 5 years though. I’ve had some success in life, some good fortune, but I’m wildly unfulfilled. Who defines my success, me or others? |

My alternative is becoming a ‘cheers’ guy. It’s an either/or and both are equally repulsive. |

Money alone doesn't bring happiness, but it sure does remove stressors which can make enjoying life a lot easier if you're already happy. Denis pretty much already said this so I feel like I'm plagiarizing him a bit, but it's true. |

I’m through flippin’ burgers and fryin’ fries. I’m gettin’ it together and I realize to be a success takes determination, that’s why I’m enrollin’ in the College of Automation. S-U-C-C-E-S-S Success! |

My Mother never gave me much advice but she gave me 2 and I remember them - 1 - There's a lot of fish in the sea. 2 - Don't ever go into debt. |

because they are using the wrong goals by which to define success A happy marriage producing good kids is rewarding throughout life and is as big a step at creating a better world than just about anything else you can do |
